If the comments at the illustrious Business Insider are any indication, it's no wonder things aren't so good fiscally. If these crap flinging, 'N0bama bad!' commentors are typical to those doing business in the US, it's no wonder our economy stands at the the trough steadily eating bales of dick.

Resounding endorsement on Oct 1, 7:36 AM said:All the Romney camp has to do now is run an ad showing what Chavez has done then play Chavez saying he would vote for Obama. End it with something like, "Chavez has done this, this and this and now would vote for Obama. Why would you do the same?"

Wake up, America.

You laugh, but this idea has probably already been pitched by one of Romney's highly-compensated consultants.

Elzar:Hugo Chavez just proved Obama is a communist marxist nazi socialist who was born in Kenya and is Muslim and Sarah Palin is automatically president.

/ Its journalistic gold! Run with it American Thinker/Townhall/Breitbart... do not delay its time for a Paul Revere ride!

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed."

The real Paul Revere story.

I had a little horse named Paul RevereJust me and my horsy and a quart of beerRiding across the land - kicking up sandSheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demandOne lonely Beastie I beAll by myself - without nobodyThe sun is beating down on my baseball hatThe air is gettin' hot - the beer is getting flatLookin' for a girl - I ran into a guyHis name is M.C.A., I said, "Howdy" - he said, "Hi"

He told a little story - that sounded well rehearsedFour days on the run and that he's dying of thirstThe brew was in my hand - and he was on my tipHis voice was hoarse, his throat was dry - he asked me for a sipHe said, "Can I get some?"I said, "You can't get none!"Had a chance to runHe pulled out his shotgunHe was quick on the draw - I thought I'd be deadHe put the gun to my head and this is what he said,

"Now my name is M.C.A. - I've got a license to killI think you know what time it is - it's time to get illNow what do we have here - an outlaw and his beerI run this land, you understand - I make myself clear."We stepped into the wind - he had a gun, I had a grinYou think this story's over but it's ready to begin

JolobinSmokin:I'm starting to wonder if all the MSM media bashin of Chavez is hyperbole' and the guy just doesn't play ball to their rules that are made to go against his country.

No, the country really is in bad shape for a number of Chavez related reasons mainly related to state firms being used as a political instrument. Long term, the inefficiencies introduced into PDVSA through the appointments of cronies are not sustainable and will cripple the country with excessive debt. He even nationalized cement. Who does that?

m2313:Bocasio: There is so much business and money to be made when that dumb ass goes away.Hell even, Daniel Ortega is playing ball with the capitalistsIt's the oil in Venezuela keeping that douché in power

Well I guess it's time to vote for Mitt Romney and preemptively invade Venezuela.

2.) We as Americans can develope a real solution concerning drug use in the USA. We can't stop drug importation and that is killing those countries economically with drug routes through them (I was young once, buy American, keep it mello)

3.) China is financing most infrestructure projects in Latin America ( Bridges, Roads, Shopping centers, auto manufacturing), and not because of ideological reasons. The Chinese have had so much cash to lend out its good business.

We need to finance American infrastructure growth and move our economy along and put this political bull shiat behind us

So Obama's supporters include Putin, Chavez, Hollande, Cameron, and Harper. I think there is no better example of Obama's failed foreign relations and international policies than the number of presidents and prime ministers willing to vouch for him.

Empty Matchbook:FloydA: Obama is running against Romney. I'd vote for a dirty sock before I'd vote for Romney; all this proves is that Chavez is not completely brain damaged.

I don't really like Chavez, and since he's not an American, his opinion on the election doesn't matter anyway, but Romney is the worst major party candidate in my lifetime.

Oh WOULD you now?

/SIFL/OLLY 2012!!!!

Sifl and Olly managed to be on MTV-UK for several years without insulting the British. Romney managed to insult the entire country in a matter of just a few hours. If nothing else, the socks are more qualified in the field of foreign relations.

Kumana Wanalaia:So you're saying that a vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Hugo Chavez?

And that if Obama is re-elected, Hugo Chavez will go away?

Chavez is probably on the way out either way, but his one potential hail-mary pass is to play up the US president as a legitimate military threat to countries that are minding their own business... something that his people aren't really buying at the moment (they seem to have picked up on Chavez being something of a threat to democracy himself, which is why they've been gradually eroding his ability to fix elections over the last decade or so) but which might become plausible if we did some of the things Romney is suggesting, like supporting the warpath elements in Israel or bombing Iran.

So, basically, yes. If Obama is re-elected, Chavez will probably be out at or before Obama's second term. The caveat being that this is probably true Obama regardless, Venezuela is mostly just sick of his shiat, but Romney could help him stay in power by providing a more feasible cultural Enemy.
